COMBINED HEARTH, einem; Ann FENDER.

'tt'.he Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent andgnakixrg part cf the sam-.1.

To all whom it 'umg concern Be tknown/that I, GEORGE BUCHANAN, of Wash-` lgtQ, the county of Allegheny and State of Pennl Sylvania, have invented a new andl valuable Improvement i1,enders; and I do hereby declare that the followl gisa full, clear, and exact description of the @09S "action and opera-tion of the' same, 'reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specicationand to the letters and lignres of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a. top view of my fender.- Figure 2 is areal' view of the same. Figure 3 is a central vertical section of the same.

`My invention relates to tire-place fenders, and consists'iu the construction and novel arrangement of the .parts thereof, whereby the fender can be used at the ordinary height during the day, and at night, or when absent from the apartment, its

ually 'prevent danger, from the ejection or falling of cinders, sparks, or live coals, l'upon the tioor.

'lhc letterA of .thedrawing represents thc outer and lower section of my fender,

B the middle section, and

C the upper section thereof; v

Any number o f sections ma be employed, but three areiisnally found suicient to accomplish -tho object. w, v Either or all of the sect-ions may foe made in openwork, care being taken that the spaes are sufficiently small to prevent the passage of the inflammatory particles from the tire.

The sections are attached together. by means of I studs a and slots b, in the center and at each side.

Instead of using the studs and slots at the sides, the

ends of the fenders have been arranged to slide onek within another. Instead of the 4simple studs a, setscrews may be employed, morder that the fender may be (routine-itat any desired height.

1n order `to` keep the sections in contact, and to prevent them from falling when the simple studs al'e employed7 the springs m m are used.

L represents a curved lip, formed along the upper' edge ot' the upper section, and designed to fall over the upper edges ot' the other sections, and to conceal them when the fender is not elevated, thus giving it 'a lighter appearance and preventing the admission 'ot' dust'. t

I do not desire to confine myself to any precise mode of constructing iheparts of my fender; but

What is cla-im as my invention, anddcsire to secure hy Letters Patent, is

1. A vertically-adjnstable fender, composed of the sections A, B,'and 0, when arranged to slide within each other, as specified.

2. The adjustable fonder herein described, co1n posed of tue outer section'A and vertically-,sliding seetions B and O, connected by the studs a, and slots b, and provided with the springs in and covering-lips L, substantially as and for the purposes specified;

In testimony that I claim the above, I have llere-l unto subscribe-d my name in the presence ot two wit- GEO. BUCHANAN.
